The Old Kai Tak Airport


  

The departure area with very low ceiling and many pillars obstructing the view



Expensive alcohol on display prominently in the departure area



Fifty international airlines operated in Kai Tak Airport as shown



Airplanes from Kai Tak reach cities all over the world 
even though Kai Tak itself was rather small



Check-in counters lining up close to each other



Used trolleys scattered around after check-in







Look carefully and you can see water dripping down from ceiling




Emergency repair to leaking ceiling during heavy downpour in the last months of Kai Tak



Plan of the new airport in Lantau Island displayed clearly on one wall
